CHILDREN'S ADVOCATE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION
I WILL ADVOCATE FOR YOU
WHAT I DO
As a former public school collaborative teacher with extensive Special Education experience, my expertise supports parents when learning, instruction, and or academic success becomes an issue. I believe if your child has EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION this will not only benefit your child but the entire community. I am convinced the key to effective educational programs for children with disabilities is collaboration-as-by parents and educators. I am a veteran of hundreds of IEP meetings and understand complicated Special Education BUREAUCRACY. The Special Education process consists of many steps, complicated paperwork, and intimidating procedures. Parents often face a situation in which emotions run high and large teams of school officials outnumber parents at IEP/504 meetings. I will work hard as a vessel collaborating with school districts ensuring appropriate services are provided to meet your child’s unique needs.
I will SPEAK for you.
I will FIGHT for you.
So that one day you can do it for yourself

TESTIMONIALS
"Dr. Jordan has been working with our family since my son was in the first grade. I originally contacted her because i was hitting a brick wall with the HCS system. My son, who has high functioning Aspergers, needed a classroom aide. The school system insisted that he could only have an aide if we placed him in a contained autism unit. Dr. Jordan set everyone at the meeting straight regarding the laws and least restrictive environment, and he got an aide until he began middle school and the IEP team agreed that he no longer needed one. He just graduated with a 4.3 GPA, 3rd in his class, and obtained a full tuition scholarship at UAH. I attribute most of his school success to having the correct accommodations and proper support through the years, which would not have been possible without Dr. Jordan."
